The 'general' package has basically fixed that for me:

Makes it pretty simple to swap out most common emacs shortcuts for much more ergonomic alternatives.

Emacs with evil-mode. Best of both worlds

You can ban them for yourself by monitoring your own internet use, deleting mobile apps (and/or disabling notifications) and reducing news consumption in general. All of which are pretty solid protocols for most people to follow 365 days / year, actually.

I'd check out Leechblock NG (for Firefox and Chrome) if you need a short vacation from Lemmy or any other websites.

Great project, just donated

I could handle an overpriced phone if the device were viable for day-to-day use. Unfortunately the battery life is so compromised that even if we had a totally flawless mobile OS running on it, it still wouldn't work out as a phone.

Japan's urban design is pretty excellent as well, for different reasons

You could argue that China has devolved into a totalitarian state under Xi. There's a lot of corruption surrounding the party's Ministry of Railways, which has led to some perverse incentives to invest (possibly way too much) in HSR and urban metro networks across all of the country. And thanks to the extremely centralized power structure, you have a lot of standardized components used to roll out those networks, making construction cheaper and faster due to economies of scale.

Tldr; China's rail infra is pretty great, especially when so many of its cities are very rough around the edges otherwise. That said, East Asia's democracies (Taiwan, S. Korea and Japan) also have excellent transportation networks, so who knows.

Ideally I'd have access to both- i.e., a 'home base' in the city, plus a small place to stay out in the woods somewhere, preferably less than 20 mins on foot from a commuter train. Continuing to avoid driving would be great

What's the advantage vs. the current version?

Also looks like it's removing an important visual affordance (i.e., which areas you can click to drag the window), unless I'm misinterpreting it

Just a heads up, here in the states I haven't been able to use a OP6 as an actual phone- without VoLTE working on t-mobile yet, all incoming calls go straight to voicemail:

Might want to look into what the situation is with your carrier, or if there's a workaround for you. Think as soon as this is fixed, it could actually work as a daily phone for me (aside from the missing camera)

Please just realize any article about Sarah Palin is basically clickbait. She has nothing of substance to offer, and no one is more informed after hearing her hot takes

No, at least not in countries (e.g., the USA) that rely on the state to micromanage every aspect of zoning, and which therefore allow NIMBYs to derail progress at every possible step.

In a better world we would draft new laws to throw out our entire zoning system, and start over with something much more flexible at the state or national level- ideally based on the approach Japan uses, which defaults to mixed-use for every building and makes NIMBYism structurally impossible.
